what happened
Cathay Pacific Airways said its cargo arm, Cathay Cargo, carried more than 150,000 tonnes of freight in September, up 14% from a year earlier. Passenger numbers rose 12% over the same period, while capacity, measured in available seat kilometres, grew 9% year on year. The airline expects demand to stay healthy in the fourth quarter, and expects cargo demand to strengthen further as the year-end air cargo season approaches.
why it matters
For markets, this points to a recovery in air travel and freight demand across Asia. Rising cargo volumes ahead of the peak season matter for airline shares and for freight rates. A single monthly report, however, does not show the trend for the full quarter.
